I have an issue with eliminating the zero before the decimal point. I tried a number of different solutions, but nothing worked. Here is what I am trying to accomplish.

I have 3 cell with data as follows (the data is a result of a division application):
A3 .265
B3 .299
C3 .403
I want to combined them so the result appears in one cell like this: .265/.299/.403
Unfortunately for me all my different ties resulted ended up like this: 0.265/0.299/0.403

Is there a way to get the result I am looking for?

I appreciate all the help you have to offer and I thank you in advance.

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

After receiving help with a formula from Jim, I came across another issue.

If any of the cells has an ending zero:
A3 .260
B3 .290
C3 .403

It would appear as .26/.29/.403 instead of the intended look of .260/.290/.403

Is there any way to keep the last digit (0) from being removed?

Thanks in advance for the help, I do appreciate it.

Is that what you are looking for?
Excel Formula:
=TEXT(A3,".000") & "/" & TEXT(B3,".000") & "/" & TEXT(C3,".000")

Note that if you answer Fluff's question, he may be able to give you a sleeker solution!

Thanks for that, it saves members asking you all the time.
How about
=TEXTJOIN("/",,TEXT(A3:C3,".000"))
